Not saying it's a crime - just replying to a previous post about it happening. It does seem a bit of a draconian rule, but you can't expect the majority to go along with it and then let the minority off if they break the rules. Probably best to remove the restriction if no one is doing anything about it.

I know you are not and I have seen the odd pint carried through to the seats under the stewards noses and no-one died. Usually by people on their first visit to the stadium, or dare I say it? people who are used to having this facility at this stadium but when watching a different sport?
Would it be a crime to drink a pint of the Guinness Zero 00 which is gladly served on the concourse for a few pennies short of £7 a pint ? What would be the danger in that?
I have seen more fans, customers even? sneaking their own drinks in and having a relative party in the seats, passing shots down the row with shouts of 'cheers'. Again never saw any need to call in the riot police or an ambulance.
I genuinely would like to see City challenge this rule because I do think it is unfair, unjust and twenty odd years out of date and needs changing in this, erm, 'modern' world.

It will be banned in Rugby League soon too. The DCMS have been trying since covid to convince the RFL to stop it, in the end they will enforce it.

There is more and more trouble at games. As well as that it's bloody annoying when the same bell ends are constantly up and down during a game to go and get more ale. At Wembley a guy must have gone 3 times each half, stupid grin as he shuffles past apologising. Pointless going to the match, he could have watched it in the pub sat at the bar.

That is why i suggested designated areas, then you know before you buy a seat there that people might be non stop to the bar. I have it now but its people backwards and forwards for the cheesy chip stuff they sell, they might as well watch their football in McDonalds?

How nice has it been for all our summer signings to make an impact for a change also?

Even Big Dave who is probably the most underwhelming in terms of quality has won us a game.

Only one now is Williams who will definitely prove his worth after this break me thinks

That's a great point.

I can't think of a single summer signing who is now deadwood who we'll want to shift in Jan/next summer a la Lokilo, Racioppi etc. in years gone by.

Yeah maybe Akintola and Famewo aren't great, but they're decent backup options on presumably low wages.

I think it was banned in 1985 (forget the specific Act now). the year I started going. So prior to that, could you get a beer anywhere in Boothferry Park and if so, then watch the game with it?

Boothferry Park was tea total for the fans after the North Stand was demolished. We had a social club under there but no-one was allowed to bring their drinks onto the terraces. Sponsors could still get a drink in the sponsors bar but joe public? no. At the same time Hull Fc had no less then six or seven bars open to joe public at the Boulevard, we had none.
It only changed in the later years when Adam Pearson came along. He put up a marquee in the gymnasium ( the roof leaked) and put a bar in there, it was a great success. But you still couldn't bring you beer onto the terraces.
I know why it isn't allowed at football because of the problems of crowd trouble twenty/thirty years ago, but the game, the fans and the world has moved on. Its time the authorities did too.

Yeh I remember Pearson putting the marquee up.

Any insight into the booze situ in other grounds pre-85 - particularly during the game?

I actually think hughes pass to coyle for the first goal was better than the assist for the third

It took two or three defendeds out the game and it was absolutely perfect in enabling coyle to run onto and cross it first time

And the third goal assist was a peach

First one was all awareness, vision and football brain, while the one for Gelhardt was incredible technique and execution.

Agree with most of this but it doesn't look good for Williams. If he can still only play U21s after all this time there's got to be something wrong there.

I do find it very strange that he can't even make the bench over Brown, McCarthy, Shehu etc.

Do wonder if he's just not cut out for it.

My memory may be a bit clouded but I recall a bar inside the old Turf Moore, when we went there needing to win by 3 goals and won by 2 missing out to the blunts on promotion, couldn't tell ya if they served during the gane though.

Was in west upper yesterday. Not even sure there are stewards up there. Halfway through the first half a guy walked in with a full tray of pints - all the way up the stairs, along his row. Again, no-one said anything but presumably the club could get a slap on wrist or more for allowing it to happen if reported.

You e just reported it.. well done !!! lol

Me too. It's a joke. We have some real grubs in our fanbase.
Some tit swiped my pint of Guinness yesterday as I popped it down to check on my lad who had slipped on the concourse coming back from the toilet. Turned around and a full pint had gone. Absolute loser.

Probs the same scroats who were constantly goading the away fans,(mostly families) next to the dividing fence. Probably the same pompey fans who were so friendly to us last game of the season. Wish they’d take that fence down to see how brave they are then

And it'd be the same scroats who'd be chucking beer over the fence if it were allowed on the terraces.
